A particle moves along the x-axis. Its position varies with time according to the expression x = -4t + 2t2 where x is in meters and t is in seconds.
Determine its displacement in the time intervals t = 0 to t = 1 s and t = 1 s to t = 3 s.
Calculate the average velocity from t = 1 s and t = 3 s.
Calculate the instantaneous velocity at 2.5 s.
Starting at x = - 17 m at time t = 0 s, an object takes 17 s to travel 55 m in the +x direction at a constant velocity. On a sheet of paper, make a position vs. time graph of the object's motion. What is its velocity?
A particle moves along the x axis beginning at x = −2 m at time zero. The particle moves forward at speed 4 m/s for 3 seconds, then backward at 3 m/s for 2 seconds, then forward again at 1 m/s for 3 seconds. Draw a position vs. time graph for this motion. Draw a velocity vs. time graph for the same motion.
